The Conch: "Sleeping in the Forest," Mary Oliver

http://lookoutforthatrock.blogspot.com/2011/04/blog-post.html

Monday, April 11, 2011. Sleeping in the Forest," Mary Oliver. Sleeping in the Forest. I thought the earth remembered me,. She took me back so tenderly,. Arranging her dark skirts, her pockets. Full of lichens and seeds. I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,. Nothing between me and the white fire of the stars. But my thoughts, and they floated light as moths. Among the branches of the perfect trees. All night I heard the small kingdoms. Breathing around me, the insects,. She Said She Said.

The Conch: "Abandoned Farmhouse," Ted Kooser

http://lookoutforthatrock.blogspot.com/2011/04/abandoned-farmhouse-ted-kooser.html

Thursday, April 14, 2011. Abandoned Farmhouse," Ted Kooser. He was a big man, says the size of his shoes. On a pile of broken dishes by the house;. A tall man too, says the length of the bed. In an upstairs room; and a good, God-fearing man,. Says the Bible with a broken back. On the floor below the window, dusty with sun;. But not a man for farming, say the fields. Cluttered with boulders and the leaky barn. A woman lived with him, says the bedroom wall. Papered with lilacs and the kitchen shelves.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Moonflowers," by Karma Larsen. Milly Sorensen, January 16, 1922 - February 19, 2004. It was the moonflowers that surprised us. Early summer we noticed the soft gray foliage. She asked for seedpods every year but I never saw them in her garden. Never knew what she did with them. Exotic and tropical, not like her other flowers. I expected her to throw them in the pasture maybe,. A gift to the coyotes. Huge, platterlike white flowers. That manicured lawns don't surround me. Doesn&#8...

The Conch: "We Never Know," Yusef Komunyakaa

http://lookoutforthatrock.blogspot.com/2011/04/we-never-know-yusef-komunyakaa.html

Friday, April 15, 2011. We Never Know," Yusef Komunyakaa. He danced with tall grass. For a moment, like he was swaying. With a woman. Our gun barrels. When I got to him,. Of flies had already claimed him. I pulled the crumbled photograph. There's no other way. To say this: I fell in love. The morning cleared again,. Except for a distant mortar. Somewhere choppers taking off. I slid the wallet into his pocket. Turned him over, so he wouldn't be. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 5 White Noise Questions.

The Conch: "The Day Lady Died," Frank O'Hara

http://lookoutforthatrock.blogspot.com/2011/04/day-lady-died-frank-ohara.html

Monday, April 18, 2011. The Day Lady Died," Frank O'Hara. The Day Lady Died". It is 12:20 in New York a Friday. Three days after Bastille day, yes. It is 1959 and I go get a shoeshine. Because I will get off the 4:19 in Easthampton. At 7:15 and then go straight to dinner. And I don’t know the people who will feed me. I walk up the muggy street beginning to sun. And have a hamburger and a malted and buy. An ugly NEW WORLD WRITING. To see what the poets. In Ghana are doing these days. I go on to the bank.
